Hi, I posted this last week on the main thread, but, owing to the amount of other discussion, and the fact that it was on a page turn, there were no takers. So I thought this might find a more receptive audience
Congrats to HDS for pretty much sewing up our league. Even if by some miracle I manage to win my remaining four matches including our rematch - Your run-rate
advantage is virtually worth another point.
Still have two trophies to go for, FC which I should still win, and BT20 which I might, though my evaporating morale means that, after casting aside all
before me during the first half of the season, ATM I'm having trouble beating an egg!
So now is probably a good time to start thinking about a major re-vamp of The Gurs. I've got a few aging players, my Qual middle order is looking flimsy
for an aspirational Div.III side, and I'm not at all convinced about the mix of my bowling attack. Despite pulling Esq Seam, I struggle to bowl out rem
and Wond batting line-ups, which I figure may be down to having too many cautious and/or medium pace bowlers. Would seriously appreciate any thoughts on where I could improve - ATM thinking of flogging Jeffery and one of Katleho or Wilde, and trying to buy a solid all-rounder. I'll post my only 13 players
with any sort of saleable value, and bear in mind that I've only got £2M in the bank, and am struggling to make a fortnightly profit.
I'm currently playing Jeffery as an all-rounder, because even though I've got a much better bowler in the form of Katleho Warming his arse on the bench, my lack of batting quality means that I've got to extend my batting depth.
Nets are currently:
Akhtar 2x Bat
Syiabonga 2X Bat
Benamar 2X Bowl
Katleho 2X Bowl
Wilde 1x Bowl
1X floating fielding net (currently with Katleho)
At the end of each season I have a fat camp, where I take the five players with the worst stamina, (who I plan on keeping for more than a couple of seasons), and give them two Stam nets each until they pop a level.
